Ning Fengzhi Listening to Yu Yuanzhen's unabashed declaration of ambition, the gentle smile on his face gradually faded and was replaced by a deep thought.
He did not express his position immediately. His slender fingers tapped lightly on the smooth rosewood chair armrest, making a rhythmic clicking sound.
There was a brief silence in the living room.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong also calmed down and looked at their sect leader calmly, waiting for his decision.
After a moment, Ning Fengzhi slowly raised his head and looked at Yu Yuanzhen again.
His eyes were still calm, but there was a hint of solemnity and worry in his tone that could not be ignored:
"What Chief Jade said is indeed tempting. The benefits left by the Clear Sky Sect's fall are enough to make people's hearts move."
He changed the topic, looked directly into Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, and threw away the most critical and most feared question:
"But, Chief Jade, have you ever thought about a question..."
"That is, what if one day...Tang Chen comes back?"
Ning Fengzhi's voice was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present.
The name Tang Chen seems to have some kind of magic power, instantly cooling down the atmosphere that was just a little heated due to profit.
"Tang Chen is the same as Qian Daoliu. They are both level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, the pinnacle of existence in the world. Both you and I are well aware of his intimidating power."
Ning Fengzhi said slowly, with a calm tone that analyzed the facts:
"This time Spirit Hall took action against the Clear Sky Sect. It seemed that Thunderous Might even pushed him to the brink of extinction. But after thinking about it carefully, Spirit Hall ultimately only forced Clear Sky Sect to hand over Soul Beast, punishing Tang Hao Tang Xiao, killing some elders and disciples, did not really completely wipe Clear Sky Sect off the map."
"Why?"
He asked and answered himself:
"Because of Qian Daoliu, because of the Spirit Hall, they are also afraid! They are afraid of Clear Sky Douluo who may still be alive and will take crazy revenge once he returns!"
"They dare not, nor are they willing, to forge a truly undying, dead-end hatred with a Peerless Douluo for a reason that does not require them to exterminate their family!"
Ning Fengzhi looked at Yu Yuanzhen's slightly changed expression and continued in a deep voice:
"The reason they can't deal with the Spirit Hall is because Spirit Hall has Qian Daoliu, the possible inheritance of gods. Tang Chen must weigh the cost even if he retaliates."
"But if we take action against the Clear Sky Sect, or even destroy it. Then, after Tang Chen returns, who will he want to take revenge on?"
"Will it be Spirit Hall who is powerful and protected by gods? I'm afraid not. His most likely and direct target of revenge will be us!"
"They took advantage of his absence to add insult to injury and carve up his sect's inheritance... Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
Ning Fengzhi's tone carries a hint of cold reality:
"At that time, Chief Jade, tell me..."
"Which of our two families can bear the endless revenge of a furious, careless Peerless Douluo who has reached the pinnacle of human strength?"
"Do we have a powerful person of the same level like Qian Daoliu sitting in our place? Do we have the inheritance of gods like Angel God as our ultimate trump card?"
"None of them."
"Therefore, a person as powerful as Spirit Hall would not dare to really kill Clear Sky Sect until he is absolutely sure that Tang Chen is dead or has enough confidence to withstand his revenge."
"And we..."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly and sighed.
That sigh was full of a clear understanding of reality and power, and also had a hint of helplessness:
"Why do you dare to take this... huge risk that may put our family on the road to destruction?"
"That tempting cake may be delicious. But the premise is... we have lives to eat it."
As someone who has been in charge of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for many years, he knows better than anyone else what a level 99 Peerless Douluo means on this continent.
That was not just the pinnacle of personal power.
It is a strategic and absolute deterrent that can subvert the power structure!
It is a walking natural disaster on earth.
It is also the sword of Damocles that hangs over the heads of all its enemies and may fall at any time.
If not, how could Spirit Hall, which has existed for tens of thousands of years, be willing to condescend and maintain a subtle, even equal, interactive relationship with the Clear Sky Sect over the past many years?
Isn't it precisely because that Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen, with his peerless appearance, dominates the entire generation and gives Clear Sky Sect a prestige and status that is enough for the Spirit Hall to face up to and even need to win over?
The so-called name of the number one sect in the world is just an appearance.
The real core is Tang Chen.
It's the unstoppable Clear Sky Hammer.
It is the terrifying strength that stands at the top of the world!
You must know that in the clearly recorded history of the Douluo Continent, there has been no real god who ascended Divine Realm for tens of thousands of years.
The last person to successfully become a god was the original Angel God enshrined by the Spirit Hall.
But after all, it was too long ago and has long become a vague legend.
It is a totem of faith, not a tangible power within reach.
At a time when the gods are invisible, a living Peerless Douluo, whose strength has reached the limit of the human world, is more terrifying in terms of deterrence and influence than the gods to some extent!
Because he is real, his power is immediately available, and his anger can truly burn everything!
Therefore, Ning Fengzhi clearly realizes how fragile the foundation of Yu Yuanzhen's seemingly alluring but actually crazy plan is and how huge the risk is!
Once they really attack the now weak Clear Sky Sect, they will even divide it and destroy it.
Then, one day in the future, when the missing Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen returns like a legendary hero, what he will see is the human tragedy of the sect being destroyed, the foundation being taken away, and all the children being killed and injured...
At that time, what kind of crazy revenge will a furious, careless, and powerful Peerless Douluo take?
Will he go to fight with the Spirit Hall who also has Peerless Douluo in charge and is blessed by the gods?
Not very likely.
It is human nature to pick on weak persimmons, and it is also the logic of the strong.
His most direct, most reasonable, and most satisfying revenge target must be the villain who takes advantage of his absence to add insult to injury and seize his inheritance.
That is Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
Facing the revenge of Peerless Douluo, who is determined to fight to the death, what can the two families do to resist?
Although Chen Xin and Gu Rong are strong, they are still far from level 99.
No matter how strong Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support is, it cannot make up for the huge gap in absolute strength.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is certainly domineering, but in front of a peak powerhouse who has cultivated Clear Sky Hammer to the extreme, he may not be able to escape the outcome of being defeated one by one and ultimately destroyed.
What does the so-called huge benefit and the name of the No. 1 sect in the world mean in front of the butcher's knife that destroys the sect?
It's nothing more than a mirror, a talisman to remind one's life.
